Jemele Hill is an anchor on at least one of their sports shows, and has not lost her job for calling Trump and his entire cabinet and all who voted for him Racists.

To hell with espn.

There is a YUGE opening here for FS1 to just do sports and not do Social Justice.

Life rolls on, and moves along. If your business isn't thinking about tomorrow, it's as dead as fried chicken.


On the First Amendment, ESPN, & Modern Media
Jemele Hill’s opinion may be that the president is a white supremacist, but that’s just her idiotic opinion. The facts should be more alarming to her; people don’t enjoy watching her show on television. They’re abandoning her show in droves, at a rate never before seen in the modern history of ESPN.

But in the end this entire story may not matter very much when we reach the final chapter. And right now MSESPN’s the Titanic and they’ve already struck an iceberg. With this idiotic left wing leadership no matter what shows they put on, they’re just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

The good ship MSESPN’s sinking, the only question left is how many get away on lifeboats before they drown. Jemele Hill’s attacks on Donald Trump weren’t about establishing her political opinions, they were a desperate cry for help from a non-sports network.

“Please,” she might as well have Tweeted, “save me from this disaster.”

Flipped over to the Bengals/Texans game a few times, noticed Chris Collinsworth calling the game, changed it.

Every time I've looked now, they've been bitching about the Bengals not having scored a touchdown yet this season. Not because it means anything.. but because the fans just want to see a super TD dance.

Sport is doomed. Put a fork in it.

Just ended, Bengals have no scored a touchdown in 2017. I kinda like this DeShon Watson guy, he looked pretty good. If he can continue to improve, Texans win their division.

The last play of the game was funny, it's work watching. JJ Watt put an exclamation mark on the win.

Back to boycotting ESPN. I came off my last personal boycott of them a while back (can't even recall why I originally boycotted them). I don't really care if people post their views outside of the workplace. It's on their time, they shouldn't be fired for talking politics outside of work. What I can't tolerate is the double standard of firing some people for their views while others slide. FU ESPN for firing others in the past for having a stance on an issue, but letting her go by without anything more than a discussion.

As for the NFL, so far we've been presented with a lot of really bad football. It will get better as the players get more games in, but I'm surprised at how many fundamental mistakes these "professionals" make. Professionals that are being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars at minimum. Until they turn it into flag football or until the time when enough youth pass on playing the sport that the play degenerates even further from what we've seen so far this season, the NFL will continue to do fine as a business.

I've noticed this as well. For whatever reason, the actual skill level of players seems to be deteriorating. I suspect that it has more to do with all of the rules keeping them from simply reacting and playing.

Excessive false-start penalties, ridiculous interference/catch/fumble standards, taunting penalties, horse-collar, roughing.... all being carried to an absurd level that keeps anyone from just going out and playing the game.

Agreed, the problem is espn's double standard.

NFL
I heard commentators talk about this too, that colleges enter the season sharper and better prepared than the professionals, and they don't have pre-season throw away games to prepare. I'm undecided on whether or not NFL play this season is worse than previously.

DOUBLE DOWN !
Look at LA, there just hasn't been a viable NFL market in LA for years, that's why the Raiders left and the Rams. But the NFL see's bucks, big bucks in the Megaopolous and thinks if they just had a bigger, better stadium, and 2 teams, not one, they can make Benjamins.
:lol:
they'll double down. The smart thing would be to slash ticket prices in half and slash concession prices in half. With HD TV why would anyone want to leave the comfort of their homes. No annoying people that you don't know around you, food and beer are a fraction of the price. If they game stinks you can simply do something else for fun, you don't have to pay anything for parking, you don't have to deal with traffic, and the tv picture is so good it's beats almost every seat in the stadium. The NFL better admit that and stop this kneeling B.S. (Because it's pissing off a majority of Americans) or die.

Silver Eagle knows ^^^^
My friends and I usually have two games, early season, hosted at a friends house a mile down the road, where we buy a ton of beer, a pig for roasting over an open fire, the wives make side dishes, and we bring a 60" HDTV outside to watch NFL games all day. Of course this is all weather permitting which is why it's early season but at most it costs $60.00 per family. That's damn cheap for really good food unlike stadium nuked food that is way over priced and the beer is cheap. That's what the NFL is facing and it better wise up but like I said before they'll double down and may even do something completely retarded like make the games PPV. That would be the final nail in the coffin.
There is a time for good men to do bad things.

For fuck sake, 1984 is NOT an instruction manual!

Kap would be up for roasting some pigs. :twisted:

I haven't checked actual attendance figures, but stadiums usually look pretty packed. In WI we signed up our kids for the waiting list for Lambeau Field tickets when they were born. That was 15 years ago. They are currently #57,000 on the waiting list. :shock:
